In the 1880s, as the European powers were carving up Africa, King Leopold II of Belgium seized for himself the vast and mostly unexplored territory surrounding the Congo River. Carrying out a genocidal plundering of the Congo, he looted its rubber, brutalized its people, and ultimately slashed its population by ten million--all the while shrewdly cultivating his reputation as a great humanitarian. Heroic efforts to expose these crimes eventually led to the first great human rights movement of the twentieth century, in which everyone from Mark Twain to the Archbishop of Canterbury participated. King Leopold's Ghost is the haunting account of a megalomaniac of monstrous proportions, a man as cunning, charming, and cruel as any of the great

The mystery novel, The Name of the Star by Maureen Johnson, was a read that truly had my mind working to figure out who was performing the murders without a trace. I really enjoyed this writing because the idea of bring the Jack the Ripper murders back to life in a completely new way, really intrigued me to read this novel. Maureen Johnson brings together an event that changed the world and the paranormal creatures, ghosts. Only a few people in this fictional world are actually able to see ghosts, who, as described to Rory, “...have the underlying ability…[and]...have come close to death during your adolescence. This part is key” (Johnson 180). I think the way that Maureen Johnson went about the process for seeing ghosts is really interesting

Hellen, The story was about the murders of three people and the clues surrounding the purpose of those murders. In what way does the clues identify the story as being fictional? What is a numeric puzzle? I believe the outcome was very realistic. A vengeful criminal trying to get back at a law enforcement officer for what he perceived as an injustice to his brother. Basically good over evil. I like your assessment that the man was being absorbed by the novel and therefore, he became the novel. I do not believe there was a twist in the novel but a natural occurrence of a "dream" becoming reality. It was a suspenseful turn of events at the end. The young woman wanting to attend to the young man's doubts about what he was about to do and him knowing

Sean Meehan has written and directed the movie. The script was entertaining when we feel like the story was developing well, the movie ends disappointing Cori and the viewers. The resolution of the film seems to be urged and could not be accepted as an open ending. Sean also shouldered the editing of the film, which kept the pace of the movie well and engaging.

A ghost is “a disembodied soul,” according to the definition found within Merriam-Webster’s dictionary. However, in the novel The Woman Warrior by Maxine Hong Kingston, the term ghost adopts a meaning that holds a much greater depth. All throughout the text, the word “ghost” reoccurs in a metaphorical sense that binds together the overlying theme of culture disconnect between the generations of the Chinese-Americans. Kingston equips figurative usage of ghosts in order to establish a setting in which there is an evident cultural gap between those described as ghosts, and those who live and breathe in a traditional Chinese sense.

Robert Moses was the creator of New York City, Long Island, and Westchester County, NY throughout the 1 1930s and 1950s. He had transformed neighborhoods into shorelines and highways/roadways. He was very successful and changed NYC forever. However, some believed that he had removed lower-class residents from their homes to benefit the rich. I believe that he had helped the people of the future by making their life easier and untroublesome. But he was also very inconsiderate with the people who he had displaced to create a better future for the working society today. He had ignored the people of New York City, who had made the city up. Streets, playgrounds, and pools do not make a city, but the people who live within it do. Michael Powell
